Default Re: True Max on Number of Systems?

Err, do you work in a cheese factory?

Thanks to you both for the info.

I found the 255 limit in the settings file right before coming back here.

One thing that could help off-set the slow down caused by extra large quadrants would be to reduce the average number of "objects" per system, right?

Has anyone tried a quadrant with say, 200 systems? Would the slow down for a 200 system quadrant be too ucomfortable using a P3 1 Ghz machine, and using the same average number of per system objects that the game normally generates?

If you got a P3 1 Ghz machine you are just fine. I run 255 systems in a map once with alot more then normal objects in a system and it runs smoothly. And I use a P3 866 Mhz machine. So that shouldn't be a factor.

Of course you would eat cheese, but what would I eat?
